Gil and Kelly Bates are set to welcome their 40th grandchild next year. They currently have 36 grandchildren, and at least four of their daughters and daughters-in-law are pregnant.
Josie and Kelton Balka are expecting their fourth child in December.
Lawson and Tiffany Bates are due at the end of 2025. They haven't shared the exact due date but have said that it will be in winter 2025, although Tiffany recently said she is 30 weeks pregnant, which would be January.
Tori and Bobby Smith are expecting their sixth baby in March 2026. They currently have three boys and two girls.
Zach and Whitney Bates are also looking forward to welcoming their sixth child, due in May 2026. They just announced the gender, and...it's a girl! That makes two boys and four girls for their family.
After what happened with Erin, I hope they all slow down. It's not fun when there's narrowly averted tragedies. No one knows if Erin is walking, or how baby Henry is.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's not a contest to see who can have the most babies.
DeleteLast update was she was using a walker and feeling had returned to her leg and Henry is doing great.
DeleteIs it always the same person making the "it's not a contest" comments?
DeleteAmazing. They just keep those babies coming.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big family and so many of them are child bearing ages,what would you expect, celibacy? Lol 🙃
Delete5:40 There are other ways to slow the baby train. It's not that complicated. There's nothing sinful about being responsible or respecting your spouse and the children you already have.
DeleteNo. They make a living because of the size of the family.
DeleteThese families will not slow down. They always say babies are a gift from God.
ReplyDeleteThey can't seem to explain with that same statement why some babies end up in abusive households. Not everything in the world is so picture perfect.
DeleteI've always thought that was backwards. Parents should be a gift to the children they choose to bring into the world without the consent of those children.
DeleteNo they can't explain why some children are born into abusive families. Nobody can,but that has absolutely nothing to do with them accepting each child as a blessing into their lives. They are happy families and those children are blessed beyond measure to get to be a part of it. Enough said. Let them live in peace.
DeleteCongratulations to all of the expectant parents! It is very exciting to watch your families grow, all while sharing God's love and providing great examples for your children!! So many could learn volumes from these families!!
